Chapter 87 Smiling Face Hiding a Dagger

On the banquet table.

There were only Li Qi and the bald seal.

Although it was an open-air banquet, no one else dared to come, and only the two of them were eating.

Three rounds of wine had already passed, and the self-introductions were almost over.

Li Qi learned that this person's name was Bao Dun, and he was a guest elder of the Boshan Sect.

As for the Boshan Sect, it was a Jianghu sect, one of the many sects in the martial arts world of the Dalu Kingdom. Many wealthy businessmen would send their children to learn martial arts, and they were considered to be top figures. It was said that the head of the Boshan Sect was in the state capital, and he could also speak.

However, Li Qi could hear from Bao Dun's words that he was full of disdain for the Boshan Sect.

However, he did not have this disdain for Li Qi.

The reason seemed to be because... Li Qi knew the Nine-Grade Grading Method.

After Li Qi revealed that he knew the Nine-Grade Grading Method, his attitude suddenly changed.

This made Li Qi understand some things more clearly.

It seems that... the thigh that he was holding was really extraordinary. For these people, the nine-grade classification method alone was already a secret. The goal of the disciples of the Boshan School in this life was to be "innate warriors".

In other words, it was to enter the ninth grade of martial arts.

The Lizhou military commander, who he once thought was invincible, was only the seventh grade.

And this person was already the strongest person in Bao Dun's cognition. Bao Dun was still proud to say that his martial arts could also achieve the seventh grade, and then he would be a god-like figure.

He also asked Li Qi, what grade could his martial arts reach?

Li Qi naturally "told the truth" and said that his martial arts could reach the eighth grade.

He did not lie, Li Liuyi could indeed reach the eighth grade.

From Bao Dun's statement, the martial arts of the Boshan School could only reach "innate warriors" at most, that is, the ninth grade was the limit.

And such a martial arts could actually establish a sect.

This made Li Qi sigh at the disparity of the world.

It also made him sigh again at the vastness of the world and his own insignificance.

After knowing that Li Qi's skills could reach the eighth level, Bao Dun's attitude became much more intimate.

Li Qi also knew the reason.

When making friends, the best friends are of course those who have some skills, but are not as good as oneself.

In short, this dinner was just like an ordinary drinking party, talking about everything from all over the world, humanities and customs.

Bao Dun talked about his understanding of the cultivation world and helped Li Qi to supplement a lot of knowledge.

And Li Qi also talked about some insignificant little knowledge in the book "Blessings", such as a certain place produces a certain insect, what color of grass has what effect, etc.

But it is these things in the book "Blessings" that are as many as weeds, but Bao Dun shouted that it was amazing and praised Li Qi for his knowledge.

This dinner was barely a happy occasion for both the host and the guest.

"Hey, brother Li, what is your relationship with these boatmen? Why did you come here? I misunderstood your situation and almost caused a misunderstanding." Bao Dun asked.

"Ah, I was born here, but I went out to make a living and was fortunate to be accepted by my current master, so I returned home in glory." Li Qi said with a smile.

"So that's the case, congratulations to Brother Li for making it! We must take care of each other in the future." Bao Dun smiled and poured wine for Li Qi.

Li Qi toasted, and both sides laughed.

After three rounds of wine, Bao Dun said goodbye and left.

Li Qi started the second meal.

What second meal?

Of course, the brothers of the Pai Bo Gang came back from shopping and were cooking.

They also saw Li Qi eating, and did not disturb him at the signal of Uncle Six.

And Li Qi, while eating here, sat at the same table with Uncle Six.

Then, he looked at Uncle Six.

"Uncle Six, I have never been back tonight, and Li Qi is still on the run outside." He whispered to Uncle Six.

Uncle Six knew the pros and cons, so he did not say anything, but just nodded silently.

But he was worried about the others, so he just hurriedly ate a few bites of fried meat that he couldn't eat normally, and then he hurried out with his hands in his pockets.

He was probably going to spread the news and inform other brothers.

As for Li Qi, he looked like nothing happened, eating, drinking, and chatting with the brothers of Paibo Gang.

After eating, everyone was full of food and wine.

The trackers wanted to play more and listen to Li Qi's bragging and talk about things outside.

But Li Qi's face was serious: "You don't have to work in the future? Do you expect me to support you for a lifetime?"

The trackers scratched their heads and went back to sleep in a huff.

They usually go to bed at about this time, because there is no light at night, and they are very tired all day, so they go to bed early to have strength tomorrow.

After they all went to bed, Li Qi sat next to the drying fish rack.

After a while, Uncle Six came back, he nodded to Li Qi, exchanged a few words, and went back to lie down.

Seeing this, Li Qi stood up, stretched, and went into his old house.

Someone already lived here.

After all, the boatmen didn't have that many houses, so it was impossible for them to be idle for a long time.

The man inside heard someone push the door in, and quickly got up, and then saw Li Qi.

"Brother Li?" He rubbed his eyes, a little puzzled: "Are you sleeping here tonight? Then I'll make room for you."

As he said that, he wanted to get up.

"No, you sleep, I'll come in and take a look." Li Qi let him lie down, then he drew his knife from this house, quietly cut a hole from the back, and got out.

Outside, there was a tributary of the Lishui River.

Li Qi sneaked in quietly, then placed the saber at the entrance of the cave, and then quietly dived into the Lishui River through the tributary.

After drinking a bowl of wine, he believed Bao Dun?

Just kidding.

At the banquet, Li Qi saw Bao Dun glance at his saber at least five times inadvertently, and there were many tentative words in his conversation, and he also wanted to show his strength.

However, the other party may be afraid of his master or strength, so he did not take action for the time being. After all, this is in Lizhou City, and it would be bad if it got out of hand.

The gangs below killed each other, and the movement was small, and the officials were too lazy to care.

But if two ninth-rank people fought head-on, the movement would be huge, and maybe the head of the police would come out.

However, no matter whether the other party was dead or not, Li Qi was always worried.

He himself was fine, but the brothers of the Pai Bo Gang could not move, and could not afford to offend the Boshan Sect.

Then he had to... strike first.

Li Qi quietly lurked and swam to the other side of the Lishui River under the pleasure boat.

This is where Bao Dun and the Boshan School disciples live.

Climb to the bottom of the boat.

Hold your breath and calm your mind.

Put your ear to the bottom of the boat and listen carefully to what is being said.

Listened for half an hour.

Li Qi was sure.

At least, these disciples didn't know the situation, most of them were doing their own things.

As for Bao Dun... there was no sound at all.

This made Li Qi very worried.
